Concerts at Red Rocks Amphitheatre

As summer concert season nears, Red Rocks Amphitheatre hosts some of the biggest names and tours every year. Its natural acoustics make seeing a performance at this iconic park truly one-of-a-kind and attending shows here is often on many music lovers’ bucket lists.

Ship and Creation rocks offer an unforgettable musical experience for visitors from every walk of life, whether that means hearing an orchestra of 25 brass musicians or listening to an individual singer’s shrill voice. Many notable artists such as U2, Widespread Panic, John Denver and Jimi Hendrix have left an indelible mark here with their music merging seamlessly with its soul.

Built in 1936, this amphitheatre lies between two iconic rock formations known as Ship and Creation. Architect Burnham Hoyt designed it, while during the Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps completed construction over five years. Due to the surrounding rocks and natural bowl shape created by glaciers, its unique acoustics make this National Historic Landmark worth seeing!

Sandstone seats and stage are designed for clear sightlines and comfortable viewing, though concert nights may prove challenging due to the steep pitch. This venue hosts numerous other events throughout the year such as Easter sunrise services and Film on the Rocks series; its stunning setting and iconic sandstone formations add an aura of mystique that draws visitors from far and wide for performances at this iconic site.

Red Rocks hosts concerts almost weekly from spring through fall, offering an eclectic blend of both classical and contemporary artists. Additionally, hikers flock to this venue to stroll its trails and admire its incredible views.
